Actually, he accomplished quite a lot without having control of Congress and 6-3 activist SCOTUS.
And no, Manchin and Sinema didn't give Democrats control of the Senate in 2021-2022 and changed parties since then.
Trump's only success with full control of Congress was to pass the horrible tax bill.
Biden's also extremely successful on the foreign policy. Not only he reunited NATO (Putin attacked Ukraine, because he was convinced there's no way he can do it), but also got two additional members to join, who historically were neutral.
Biden's major weakness is that he doesn't broadcast his successes well and media doesn't do that either for him. The only time he successfully did mention his accomplishments was during state of the union.
You forget that in the 2020 election no one thought we'd get the Senate and all of his campaign promises were made under the assumption that it would be a Republican majority Senate he'd have to get stuff thru.
That's what Biden signed up for.
Having less Republicans in the Senate wouldn't make that harder.
So unless your argument is Biden lied from day one, I don't see how what you're saying makes anything better.
Or why there's any benefit to Biden over anyone else.
What point are you trying to make for why keeping Biden is a good idea?
And he still did quite well. I was preemptively responding to people who say Biden had a majority in Congress, that's why I started with "And no,"
And I'm saying he accomplished a lot despite that. Not everyone is as successful, Obama screwed up a single payer even though he had super majority.
And yet, you don't seem capable of naming three things that Biden accomplished that any Dem Pres wouldn't have known.
Weird...
